The Manhyia South constituency chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Richard Adjei Mensah Ofori Atta, popularly known as ‘Tom Tom’, has described as false, a claim by the Odotobri constituency chairman of the NPP, Dominic Bosompem, that he is the dean of the Ashanti regional constituency chairpersons of the NPP.
He said Bosompem ceased to be the dean of the constituency chairpersons on 6 January 2024 when he was voted out in an election.
Statement
On 18 January 2024, Bosompem issued a statement with the headline, “This Won’t Happen Again” – Ashanti chairmen To Nana B”.
In the said statement, Bosompem who described himself as “Dean, Ashanti Regional Constituency Chairmen, NPP”, sought on behalf of the regional constituency chairpersons, to apologize to the National Organiser of the NPP, Henry Nana Boakye, alias Nana B, over a statement Tom Tom issued calling on Nana B to apologize over his defence of chairman Wontumi in his infamous “I owe a Kingdom in Ashanti” statement.
Setting records straight
in setting the records straight, the Manhyia South Constituency Chairman, “Tom Tom” stated that Bosompem was appointed as dean of the regional constituency chairmen for six months by chairman Wontumi, the Ashanti regional chairman of the party.
“Tom Tom” further pointed out that Bosompem ceased to be dean on 6 January 2024, after an election that saw the Bantama Constituency Chairman, Fiifi Mensah winning to become the new dean
“Dominic Bosompem was voted out by the regional constituency chairpersons in an election we held at Lancaster Hotel in Kumasi so he is no longer our dean and therefore has no locus to state on behalf of our group. He did not even consult anyone in our group before issuing the statement,” Tom Tom said.
On that score, he stated, “I urge the rank and file of our party as well as the general public to disregard the statement Bosompem, who is an imposter, issued on behalf of the constituency chairpersons.”
I stand by my statement
Tom Tom further stated that he still stands by the statement he issued calling on Nana B to apologize. “I stand by that statement and will not back down,” he asserted.
